A new approach to writing & learning
hundreds of Chinese characters within hours
Generations of students have experienced many months of frustrating learning efforts caused by poor language learning methodology. A new mind blowing learning technology introduced in this course book will revolutionize the access to the Japanese and Chinese languages. Writing and memorizing of Chinese characters can now easily be done.
A new approach to writing & learning
hundreds of Chinese characters within hours
Chinese characters (Hanzi) - also used in the Japanese language (Kanji) - are arranged by their 'looks' (shape) instead of their meanings. Small groups of five similar characters each will help you to save precious time exercising writing and reading. Learning speed will be improved by creating a solid base of at least 333 Hanzi just within hours. And this will boost your motivation to learn the Chinese language.

Sudoku is about avoiding redundancies in the beginning
(at least at the hardest level)
Regarding the typical 9x9 Sudoku with nine different GIVENS (usually the numbers 1-9) there is still some redundant information left (assuming that all GIVENS are known): the 9th GIVEN (which ever). Only 8 different GIVENS are necessary to solve a unique 9x9 Sudoku. This fact fits to all logical variants (no matter which size).
To get you going we have added 9 Sudokus (using numbers 1-9) below with each of them missing a special GIVEN - the number of the Sudoku itself: e.g. Sudoku #3 does not have the number 3 as a GIVEN, and so on.
This 'little extra' will help to distinguish our Hanzi Sudokus (with Chinese characters) from all the other Sudokus out there :-)
Did you know that bingo is a game with a rich history? Its early roots stem from Italy in the 1530's. Later in 1778 the French press wrote about le lotto and it was in this period that the game developed into the style of playing cards that are in use today. The caller pulled out of the bag chips numbered one to ninety.

Once a player covers one row, they shout out, line or house, to let the caller know they have completed their card. These lottery-style bingo games became extremely popular in Europe. In the 1800 in Germany, l lotto was used in education to assist children with multiplication tables. Today bingo is played across the world and is accessed in many forms, online, bingo halls and at charity events.

Tradition games have always played a large part in Japanese culture. Age old pastimes such as Oragami have been passed down from generation to generation and are as popular today as they were centuries ago. Gambling related games are held under government supervision, and events and games such as Kōei kyōgi (public races), Takarakuji (lottery) and Pachinko are hugely popular.
Whilst casinos are banned in Japan, a simple search through the internet reveals a large underground obsession with the game of poker, and message boards are full of people requesting games. The third annual All Japan Poker Championship was held in 2009, and had a record attendence.
